 Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2006 12:14 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Forward mail, but not the SPAM |
 |
|
Hello ...
So I'm trying to create a setup where mail is sent to my blackberry, but not including mail that is sent to my spam folder.
The setup is qmail and vpopmail. I basically call a script in my .qmail files
| Quote: |
| /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop /var/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter |
So I can selectively choose filtering if I want on an account opposed to every account on the box.
The mailfilter file is as follows
| Quote: |
import EXT
import HOST
import HOME
SPAMBOX=".Spam"
VERBOSE=1
logfile "/var/log/maildrop-filter-log"
SHELL="/bin/sh"
VHOME=`/var/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d $EXT@$HOST`
VDOMHOME=`/var/vpopmail/bin/vdominfo -d $HOST`
VPOP=`cat $VDOMHOME/.qmail-default`
if ((/^X-Spam-Status:.*YES/))
{
`test -d $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`/usr/bin/maildirmake $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam;chown -R vpopmail.vpopmail $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
`echo "INBOX.Spam" >> $VHOME/Maildir/courierimapsubscribed`
}
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam/"
}
to "$VHOME/Maildir/"
|
Standard script to move spam to the spam folder.
My blackberry was configured to check the inbox using the webclient and that works perfectly, but lately my mail is just becoming all unsorted on my workstation so I set some rules to move mail based on subject, addresses, etc to different folders; This all being outlook BTW. I use IMAP on my workstation and the blackberry method also uses IMAP in way that messages deleted on the blackberry can be deleted on the blackberry alone without deleting them from the actual mailbox. So like I said it works fine ..
Problem is with the new rules, It moves the mail to these new folders leaving the inbox empty. SO the blackberry polls the inbox and there isnt any mail to deliver; so i get no mail. So i added an additional line to the .qmail file that reads
| Quote: |
&myname@nextel.blackberry.net |
so it looks like..
| Quote: | | /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop /var/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter
&myname@nextel.blackberry.net |
Simple forward, but its forwarding ALL MAIL. So I get the spam mail also; its tagged and moved to the spam folder as it should on my workstation, but its also getting delivered to my blackberry.
So I hope you see the problem here .. any ideas on a workaround?
Thanks in advance ..

if ((/^X-Spam-Status:.*YES/))
{
'test -d $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
<snip nested thing>
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam/"
}
to "$VHOME/Maildir/"

Couldnt the last bit become part of an an else statement? |

This actually wont work because what value or process would the else hold? The problem is actually the process and place of queue the mail is at when forwarding happens. I understand that postfix does this perfectly ..
the only suggestion thus far from qmail is to set the line to look like this
| Quote: | | to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam/ EXITCODE=99" |
Whats this do?
| Quote: | the EXITCODE=99 makes qmail-local skip any successive delivery
instructions but consider the mail delivered (and thus dequeueing it). |
But what this is doing at this point is delivering (spam tagged mail) to the Blackberry and not the mailbox Spam folder .. so its working the opposite way I want it to. 
Thanks for the help! |

So it does work the way I was using, I just had it set incorrectly ..
The way for it to work is below ..
| Quote: | if ((/^X-Spam-Status:.*YES/))
{
'test -d $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
<snip nested thing>
EXITCODE=99
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam/"
}
to "$VHOME/Maildir/" |
The difference to how i had it before was that now its on its own line..
| Quote: |
YOu're telling maildrop
to deliver it to the .Spam folder, and then set the EXITCODE variable to
99 (which makes maildrop exit with 99, causing qmail-local/vdeliver to
stop processing the .qmail file). |
Hence why it shouldnt then reference my forward to my Blackberry in the .qmail file. ..
Pretty slick, but a bit extreme... I might look at postfix as I understand its pretty slick and very flexible..
Thanks for the help .. |
